What about a bit demokratie in comp.binaries.acorn ? ==================================================== Some authors of PD-software began to post their stuff into comp.sys.acorn, cause they think, it will take a long time till their stuff is braught to comp.binaries.acorn. Unfortunally we don't know the reasons of the moderator why some software will be posted before some other software. The best way to post most wanted PD-software first is a vote, I think. I'm not sure if such is possible ( I remember the vote to create comp.binaries.acorn ... ), but it will be great if everyone can mail his 10 most wanted PD-software-wishs to a counter and the moderator will post the software on the top .... The hitparade of most wanted software is also VERY interesting for ALL, and it provides the posting of PD-software that most already have.
